[00:05] <dunpeal> Hi!  How do I enable 5.1 surround on Xubuntu?
[00:06] <dunpeal> It's easy to do on Ubuntu by just clicking the Volume Manager, but I can't find the options on Xubuntu's equivalent.
[00:38] <reggie-man> dunpeal: Try running pavucontrol, going to Configuration, then changing the profile.
[00:39] <dunpeal> reggie-man: I tried, it doesn't include an option for anything above Stereo for a device that is 5.1 capable (and I was able to configure as 5.1 on Ubuntu 12.04)
[00:40] <reggie-man> I'm not sure then. I'm sorry.
[00:41] <dunpeal> reggie-man: nvm, thanks.
[05:27] <Primula1380> Would it work if I ran a live Xubuntu CD on a PowerMac?
[05:29] <Primula1380> Oh, it's a Mac Mini
[05:29] <Primula1380> It's a MacMini 1,1
[05:31] <Primula1380> It's running Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549) right now
[05:44] <Primula1380> I would like to run a Xubuntu live CD on a MiniMac...is that doable?
[05:45] <cfhowlett> !mac | Primula1380
[05:46] <Primula1380> thanks
[05:48] <Primula1380> Is it true that xubuntu would slow down the Mac?
[05:48] <cfhowlett> Primula1380, ??? highly unlikely
[05:48] <Primula1380> good
[05:49] <Primula1380> The xubuntu OS is much easier to use than this Mac OSX system
[05:55] <Primula1380> Since I got MacMini1,1, does that mean I just need to download Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx to create an installation CD?
[05:57] <cfhowlett> Primula1380, 10.04 is LONG past end-of-life.  get 14.04.1
[05:58] <Primula1380> That would work with a MiniMac1,1?
[05:58] <Primula1380> this MniMac is 2006
[05:59] <cfhowlett> Primula1380, 10.04 is no longer supported = no security
[05:59] <Primula1380> I mean it's old...from 2006
[05:59] <Primula1380> yeah, the updates built in would be useless for security
[06:12] <lilian> hola
[06:12] <Guest36107> hola
[20:08] <xubuntu05i> hello..
[20:08] <xubuntu05i> I'm trying to install Xubuntu and having problems >.>
[20:09] <xubuntu05i> Lenovo ideapad y500
[20:10] <xubuntu05i> On the install it is failing to mount parititions on the terabyte drive.
[20:10] <xubuntu05i> and failing to remove partitions on the 16gb solid state drive
[23:32] <rosaecaeruleae> hi, I still need help to see a wallpaper / screen as I boot my xubuntu
[23:32] <rosaecaeruleae> 14.10
[23:32] <rosaecaeruleae> currently I only see a blank screen
[23:34] <deshipu> rosaecaeruleae: press alt+f2, type "xfdesktop" and press enter
[23:35] <rosaecaeruleae> deshipu, am I gonna leave xcfe?
[23:35] <rosaecaeruleae> am I gonna get a full screen terminal?
[23:38] <rosaecaeruleae> deshipu, cannot launch it, nothing happesn
[23:44] <brainwash> rosaecaeruleae: why can't you launch it? does it generate any error message if you run the command in a terminal window?
[23:45] <rosaecaeruleae> brainwash,  whats the command? ./xfdesktop ?
[23:46] <brainwash> should be just "xfdesktop"
[23:46] <brainwash> to start the application which manages the desktop (icons + wallpaper)
[23:46] <rosaecaeruleae> brainwash, doesnt launch
[23:46] <rosaecaeruleae> brainwash, it is installed
[23:46] <rosaecaeruleae> just checked synaptic
[23:47] <brainwash> it terminates immediately and returns to the command prompt?
[23:48] <brainwash> no error messages?
[23:48] <rosaecaeruleae> no
[23:48] <rosaecaeruleae> nothing
[23:48] <rosaecaeruleae> a new terminal line
[23:48] <rosaecaeruleae> to type a new command
[23:48] <brainwash> does this problem affect other user accounts or the guest session?
[23:49] <rosaecaeruleae> im the only user
[23:49] <rosaecaeruleae> this is not a guest session
[23:49] <brainwash> you should be able to select the quest session and check if the problem is user specific
[23:49] <brainwash> from the login greeter
[23:50] <rosaecaeruleae> brainwash, are you telling me to change sessions?
[23:52] <brainwash> yes please, it helps to debug your problem
[23:52] <brainwash> if the guest session is working properly, then there is something wrong with your user account
[23:53] <deshipu> also, what did you do just before it broke? :)
[23:54] <rosaecaeruleae> nothing
[23:54] <rosaecaeruleae> would uninstall and reinstall xfdesktop in synaptic do something?
[23:55] <brainwash> it won't harm your system, but it might have no effect at all
[23:55] <knome> rosaecaeruleae, why don't you try to log in with the guest session as suggested?
